Up Start Legal

Love this service.  It’s an online platform for musicians from around the world to play and record together, realtime.  Just plug in and jam.  And anyone can login and listen to the music being made.  Includes ratings, news, ecommerce, etc., as well.  Look for them soon on Kickstarter.  We helped with our Upstart Package, including LLC setup and operating agreement among the founders.  Cool!

This entreprofessional runs a website that publishes articles from developers and users about how to play their video games.  You can also download games from the site.  We helped by doing the company setup (forming the LLC, EIN, operating agreement), and he’s using our forms of services agreement and subcontractor agreement, in modified versions, for terms of use and content licensing.  Game on!

Demonstrating that our service can be useful for startup enterprises (as well as for entreprofessionals), our latest entrepreneur is an experienced childcare center developer who is opening up several new sites.  We established a holding company structure by forming an LLC for each center, each of which is wholly-owned by an LLC owned by the developer.  We completed the package by obtaining EINs for the entities and providing our form agreements for running the business.  Here’s to great success with the venture!

Yes, even lawyers need our help.  These two, experienced big-firm litigators, are leaving big law and going out on their own.  I’m delighted for them (did this myself a long time ago and haven’t looked back) and wish them the best.  They used our package for their new company, including the operating agreement that will govern their respective rights and responsibilities, and our contract forms.  Congrats on the move!

Our latest entreprofessional (entrepreneur, in this case) runs a web-based music collaboration and social networking service.  Can’t wait to see the site in action.  We helped by setting up his company, an LLC, and providing our contract forms for use in contracting out some of the development work and working with affiliates.  The nondisclosure agreement will be useful, as well.  Great new venture!

AKA “lobbyist”, this individual is our classic entreprofessional.  She’s leaving a successful career with a firm to start one of her own.  Love that!  We helped by forming her company, and she’ll use our agreements for client engagement and contracting out some of the work, including to vendors for services outside her core practice.  Best of luck with the new venture!

Our latest entreprofessional develops cool software products, apps and web services.  An expert and creative thinker on his own, he also utilizes a team of super-talented programmers on his client projects.  So the proprietary rights provisions of our services agreement and subcontractor agreement will be particularly useful in structuring the relationships with clients and subs.  We provided those agreements and the other contracts in our package to help run the business, as well as forming an new LLC and obtaining the EIN for the company.  Cool stuff!

Welcome our latest entreprofessional, a successful auto dealership manager turned sales consultant.  In the dealership, he was responsible for revenue production by hiring, training and managing company sales teams.  Now, he’s taking his knowledge to other dealerships as a sales and marketing consultant to train them on successful business strategy.  We’re helping with the new company setup, as well as the form agreements for contracting with clients, other consultants and referral partners.  Congratulations on the move!

Today’s entreprofessional is a true “entreprofessional”.  He’s someone who, after successful years in a corporate job, has decided to turn his skills, experience and network into self-employment.  He’ll be doing much the same work, providing sales and marketing solutions, but now for himself, as his own boss.  He determined to do it now and to make it real, so we were able to help by providing our full Upstart Package, i.e., LLC formation and EIN for the business, and agreements to use for contracting with partners, clients, subcontractors and affiliates.  Best of luck!

Excited to work with a new team of entreprofessionals/entrepreneurs!  These guys run a photo scanning and editing service that restores and digitizes old photos.  You dig into the pile of pictures in that moldy box in your basement, and they render them into beautiful digital images.  We helped by organizing their limited liability company and preparing an operating among the 4 partners, as well as providing the other agreements in our package.  Best of luck on the new venture!
